Forwarding Profile Regional and Custom Proxy

Forwarding profile regional and custom proxies define how GlobalProtect forwarding profiles steer traffic to regional Prisma Access locations or custom explicit proxies in Strata Cloud Manager. The scm CLI provides commands to create, update, delete, show, backup, and load regional and custom proxies.

Overview

The forwarding-profile-regional-and-custom-proxy commands allow you to:

  • Create regional and custom proxy definitions for forwarding profiles
  • Configure primary/secondary custom proxy servers, connectivity preferences, and fallback behavior
  • Update existing proxy configurations
  • Delete proxies that are no longer needed
  • Bulk import proxies from YAML files
  • Export proxies for backup or migration

Note

Forwarding profile regional and custom proxies live exclusively in the Mobile Users folder. Snippet and device locations are not supported.
